You can't trust those lazy foreigners with no backbone or fight. Fucking pathetic.

https://theathletic.com/3345719/2022/06/03/sadio-mane-southampton-liverpool?source=user-shared-article We're definitely not scrimping around and stuck with sell-to-buy these days but please please please can Mane be sold for a profit because that might get us a million quid and that could make a real difference please please 🙏

What, get to the final of a major tournament like no one else had done for more than 50 years? Would be nice for more of that, yes.

I have no doubt that all of them are in absolute dreamland at the moment. I wish we were Aston Villa.

Big fee and a hefty four year contract for a 29 year old. Ambition etc so fine but they achieved nothing last season and right now they feel more likely to be another Everton rather than a club on course for the Champions League.

My favourite type of post on the transfer threads. I predict a variation of this will be posted at least 27 times before the window shuts. Hint: if there was any transfer news, it would be on here.

No question that he was putting the groundwork in online long before she turned up on their doorstep.

Well quite. Funny that the play off final is always described as the £175m match rather than "the match that the winner may receive at least the £700k minimum merit money for finishing 20th the following season".

Congratulations Saints on winning that prize money 👏 👏 👏 👏

Nailed it.

This just in: Prime Minister definitely not accountable for the performance and behaviour of his central management/strategy/delivery unit who just happen to be based at his place of residence. Also just in: Boris done the vaccine.

Quite. And there was plenty of the old-boys-network weeping and moaning about how could they sack such a great football man like their old mate "Chrissy" Hughton, he needed time and it was knee jerk and all that crap. He was dreadful for Forest. Cooper has been absolutely unbelievable. Brilliant stuff.

Having seen some footage on social media, it is very clear to me all of this is definitely someone else's fault.

https://theathletic.com/3080123/2022/01/20/southampton-considering-taking-down-ted-bates-statue-st-marys/ There is now a statement from the club that specifically shows that the headline and the story that was written is true. They considered it. All true. I've long believed that anyone using the term "scum media" is as thick as pigshit, so thanks for confirming.

Or, you can admit you were wrong. If it is so jolly unprofessional to reveal private conversations why are you revealing stuff you have apparently "found out" about how The Athletic puts stories together. Absolutely laughable. The point is, it was Sheldon's name on the article, it was his story. You said he made it up and couldn't possibly know. He didn’t make it up, he did know, he was correct. Suck it up. There's no defaming, there never has been. Just you getting upset about the story made up in your own head rather than the truth as written and said. Well done Dan Sheldon.

Interesting really: lots of specific and direct quotes from the club on the record which very clearly show that the issue of whether to take the statue down was discussed widely by the board. So it turns out Dan Sheldon's Athletic piece a few months ago, which made the original claims that the club were discussing this, was absolutely and undeniably true. 100% accurate. Not "made up" by someone who couldn't possibly know, not "lies", not "slander". True. Well done Dan Sheldon. .... A Saints statement said: "We can confirm that we will not be removing the statue of Ted Bates. "There are a number of different reasons for this decision, which has been considered very carefully over quite a considerable period of time." "This issue was brought to us for consideration and we have engaged widely on it since then"

But but but but we're fucking shit mate.

100%. Absolutely tedious obsession with people that "know the club" as if that in any way will make them a better appointment. Strachan, Adkins, Koeman, Pochettino - none of them had any affinity / history with the club at all. Just get some coaches that will improve the players and Ralph.

Hahahaha "I demand to speak to the owner!!!" Yeah alright Kelvin. Just come and drop your bibs and your laptop off at Staplewood in the morning and see you later.

I'm just absolutely buzzing waiting for the funny launch video to land.

The SaintsWeb-ification of Southampton Football Club is complete.

It felt obvious to me that on the day of the Sue Gray report, a newspaper would come out with something that wasn't in it. And, of course, they have. Tomorrow's Mirror. Drip, drip, drip, drip. Pippa Crerar is playing a blinder.

Or Gordon Strachan.
